Paul Ryan doesn't want to talk about 2016

Paul Ryan has a message for the media: It’s too early to start talking about the presidential election next year.

“I don’t want to get into any of this 2016 stuff. I know you guys are already kind of tired of talking about this stuff so early out,” the Wisconsin Republican and former vice-presidential candidate said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday.

Ryan said he would rather talk about things happening now, like the debate over the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. “Let’s wait for a while. Let’s get stuff done in Congress. Let’s get some bipartisan accomplishments. Then we can worry about who’s running for president later. That’s the way I see it.”

Asked about Rand Paul’s foreign policy views vis-à-vis Hillary Clinton, Ryan said that the Kentucky senator has “evolved and matured in very significant ways.”

Ryan would comment on at least one other thing that is early in the game, remarking that his Milwaukee Brewers are off to a slow start this year. The congressman’s favorite team has lost 12 of its first 14 games so far.
